Abstract
Osteoblasts, cells derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the bone marrow, are cells responsible for bone formation and remodeling. The differentiation of osteoblasts from MSCs is triggered by the expression of specific genes, which are subsequently controlled by pro-osteogenic pathways. Mature osteoblasts then differentiate into osteocytes and are embedded in the bone matrix. Dysregulation of osteoblast function can cause inadequate bone formation, which leads to the development of bone disease. Various key molecules are involved in the regulation of osteoblastogenesis, which are transcription factors. Previous studies have heavily examined the role of factors that control gene expression during osteoblastogenesis, both in vitro and in vivo. However, the systematic relationship of these transcription factors remains unknown. The involvement of ncRNAs in this mechanism, particularly miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs, has been shown to influence transcriptional factor activity in the regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Here, we discuss nine essential transcription factors involved in osteoblast differentiation, including Runx2, Osx, Dlx5, β-catenin, ATF4, Ihh, Satb2, and Shn3. In addition, we summarize the role of ncRNAs and their relationship to these essential transcription factors in order to improve our understanding of the transcriptional regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Adequate exploration and understanding of the molecular mechanisms of osteoblastogenesis can be a critical strategy in the development of therapies for bone-related diseases.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to summarize the different roles of the transcription factor SP7 in regulating bone formation and remodeling, discuss current studies in investigating the causal relationship between SP7 mutations and human skeletal disease, and highlight potential therapeutic treatments that targeting SP7 and the gene networks that it controls. RECENT FINDINGS Cell-type and stage-specific functions of SP7 have been identified during bone formation and remodeling. Normal bone development regulated by SP7 is strongly associated with human bone health. Dysfunction of SP7 results in common or rare skeletal diseases, including osteoporosis and osteogenesis imperfecta with different inheritance patterns. SP7-associated signaling pathways, SP7-dependent target genes, and epigenetic regulations of SP7 serve as new therapeutic targets in the treatment of skeletal disorders. This review addresses the importance of SP7-regulated bone development in studying bone health and skeletal disease. Recent advances in whole genome and exome sequencing, GWAS, multi-omics, and CRISPR-mediated activation and inhibition have provided the approaches to investigate the gene-regulatory networks controlled by SP7 in bone and the therapeutic targets to treat skeletal disease.

Abstract
For bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) to be useful in cartilage repair their propensity for hypertrophic differentiation must be overcome. A single day of TGF-β1 stimulation activates intrinsic signaling cascades in BMSCs which subsequently drives both chondrogenic and hypertrophic differentiation. TGF-β1 stimulation upregulates SP7, a transcription factor known to contribute to hypertrophic differentiation, and SP7 remains upregulated even if TGF-β1 is subsequently withdrawn from the chondrogenic induction medium. Herein, we stably transduced BMSCs to express an shRNA designed to silence SP7, and assess the capacity of SP7 silencing to mitigate hypertrophy. SP7 silencing dampened both hypertrophic and chondrogenic differentiation processes, resulting in diminished microtissue size, impaired glycosaminoglycan production and reduced chondrogenic and hypertrophic gene expression. Thus, while hypertrophic features were dampened by SP7 silencing, chondrogenic differentation was also compromised. We further investigated the role of SP7 in monolayer osteogenic and adipogenic cultures, finding that SP7 silencing dampened characteristic mineralization and lipid vacuole formation, respectively. Overall, SP7 silencing affects the trilineage differentiation of BMSCs, but is insufficient to decouple BMSC hypertrophy from chondrogenesis. These data highlight the challenge of promoting BMSC chondrogenesis whilst simultaneously reducing hypertrophy in cartilage tissue engineering strategies.

Anti-Dlx5 Retards the Progression of Osteoarthritis through Inhibiting Chondrocyte Hypertrophy and Apoptosis. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:5019920.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint disease that can cause pain and disability in patients. There is still a lack of effective treatments to improve pathological changes of osteoarthritis cartilages and reverse the progression of osteoarthritis. Our study aimed to investigate the role of Dlx5 in papain-induced osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis was induced through intraarticular injection of papain. The pathological damage of cartilage tissues was analyzed by H&E staining. The apoptosis of cartilage tissues was detected by TUNEL assay. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect DLX5 and BMP-2. Western blot was performed to detect the expressions of SP7, caspase-3, and MYC. The results showed that administration of anti-Dlx5 improved pathological changes of osteoarthritis cartilages, characterized by decreased chondrocyte proliferation, chondrocyte hypertrophy, and matrix damage. Anti-Dlx5 treatment decreased the expressions of BMP-2 and SP7, which are positive regulators of chondrocyte hypertrophy. Moreover, MYC and caspase-3, the critical mediators for chondrocyte apoptosis, were both decreased after anti-Dlx5 treatment. In conclusion, anti-Dlx5 retarded the progression of osteoarthritis by downregulating chondrocyte hypertrophy and chondrocyte apoptosis-related genes. Our findings suggests that Dlx5 is a promising target for osteoarthritis treatment.

Abstract
The cranial base is a critical structure in the head, which is composed of endoskeletal and dermal skeletal. The braincase floor, part of the cranial base, is a midline structure of the head. Because it is a midline structure connecting the posterior skull with the facial region, braincase floor is critical for the orientation of the facial structure. Shortened braincase floor leads to mid‐facial hypoplasia and malocclusions. During embryonic development, elongation of the braincase floor occurs through endochondral ossification in the parachordal cartilage, hypophyseal cartilage, and trabecular cartilage, which leads to formation of basioccipital (BO), basisphenoid (BS), and presphenoid (PS) bones, respectively. Currently, little is known about whether maturation of parachordal cartilage, hypophyseal cartilage, and trabecular cartilage occurs in a simultaneous or sequential manner and if the formation of one impacts the others. Our previous studies demonstrated that loss of function of ciliary protein Evc2 leads to premature fusion in the intersphenoid synchondrosis (ISS). In this study, we take advantage of Evc2 mutant mice to delineate the mechanism governing synchondrosis formation. Our analysis supports a cascade mechanism on the spatiotemporal regulation of the braincase floor development that the hypertrophy of parachordal cartilage (posterior side) impacts the hypertrophy of hypophyseal cartilage (middle) and trabecular cartilage (anterior side) in a sequential manner. The cascade mechanism well explains the premature fusion of the ISS in Evc2 mutant mice and is instructive to understand the specifically shortened anterior end of the braincase floor in various types of genetic syndromes. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
With increasing life expectations, more and more patients suffer from fractures either induced by intensive sports or other bone-related diseases. The balance between osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption is the basis for maintaining bone health. Osterix (Osx) has long been known to be an essential transcription factor for the osteoblast differentiation and bone mineralization. Emerging evidence suggests that Osx not only plays an important role in intramembranous bone formation, but also affects endochondral ossification by participating in the terminal cartilage differentiation. Given its essentiality in skeletal development and bone formation, Osx has become a new research hotspot in recent years. In this review, we focus on the progress of Osx's function and its regulation in osteoblast differentiation and bone mass. And the potential role of Osx in developing new therapeutic strategies for osteolytic diseases was discussed.

Abstract
The Eph receptor tyrosine kinase ligand, ephrinB1 (EfnB1) is important for correct skeletal and cartilage development, however, the role of EfnB1 in fracture repair is unknown. This study investigated the role of EfnB1 during fracture repair where EfnB1 expression increased significantly at 1 and 2 weeks post fracture in C57Bl/6 wildtype mice, coinciding with the haematoma, soft callus formation/remodelling stages, respectively. To investigate the specific role of EfnB1 within the osteogenic lineage during fracture repair, male mice with a conditional deletion of EfnB1 in the osteogenic lineage (EfnB1OBfl/O), driven by the Osterix (Osx) promoter, and their male Osx:Cre counterparts were subject to a femoral fracture with internal fixation. Two weeks post fracture micro computed tomography (μCT) analysis revealed that EfnB1OBfl/O mice displayed a significant decrease in bone volume relative to tissue volume within the fracture callus. This was attributed to an alteration in the distribution of osteoclasts within the fracture site, a significant elevation in cartilaginous tissue and reduction in the osteoprogenitor population and calcein labelled bone within the fracture site of EfnB1OBfl/O mice. Supportive in vitro studies demonstrated that under osteogenic conditions, cultured EfnB1OBfl/O stromal cells derived from the 2 week fracture site exhibited a reduced capacity to produce mineral and decreased expression of the osteogenic gene, Osterix, when compared to Osx:Cre controls. These findings suggest that the loss of EfnB1 delays the fracture repair process. The present study confirmed that EFNB1 activation in human BMSC, following stimulation with soluble-EphB2 resulted in de-phosphorylation of TAZ, demonstrating similarities in EfnB1 signalling between human and mouse stromal populations. Overall, the present study provides evidence that loss of EfnB1 in the osteo/chondrogenic lineages delays the soft callus formation/remodelling stages of the fracture repair process.

Abstract
In our previous studies, we have found that the prepubertal increase in thyroid hormone levels induces osterix (Osx) signaling in hypertrophic chondrocytes to transdifferentiate them into osteoblasts. To test if Osx expressed in chondrocytes directly contributes to transdifferentiation and secondary ossification, we generated Osx flox/flox ; Col2-Cre-ERT2 mice and knocked out Osx with a single injection of tamoxifen at postnatal day (P) 3 prior to evaluation of the epiphyseal bone phenotype by µCT, histology, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) at P21. Vehicle (oil)-treated Osx flox/flox ; Col2-Cre-ERT2 and tamoxifen-treated, Cre-negative Osx flox/flox mice were used as controls. µCT analysis of tibial epiphyses revealed that trabecular bone mass was reduced by 23% in the Osx conditional knockout (cKO) compared with control mice. Trabecular number and thickness were reduced by 28% and 8%, respectively, while trabecular separation was increased by 24% in the cKO mice. Trichrome staining of longitudinal sections of tibial epiphyses showed that bone area and bone area adjusted for total area were decreased by 22% and 18%, respectively. IHC studies revealed the presence of abundant Osx-expressing prehypertrophic chondrocytes in the epiphyses of control mice at P10, but not in the cKO mice. Furthermore, expression levels of MMP13, COL10, ALP, and BSP were considerably reduced in the epiphyses of cKO mice. We also found that Osx overexpression in ATDC5 chondrocytes increased expression of Col10, Mmp13, Alp, and Bsp. Our data indicate that Osx expressed in chondrocytes plays a significant role in secondary ossification by regulating expression of genes involved in chondrocyte hypertrophy and osteoblast transdifferentiation.

Abstract
Osterix (Osx) is an osteoblast-specific transcription factor that is essential for bone formation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ~22-nucleotide-long noncoding RNAs that play important regulatory roles in animals and plants by targeting mRNAs for cleavage or translational repression. They can also control osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-related bone remodeling. The vital roles of Osx and miRNAs during bone formation have been well studied, but very few studies have discussed their co-functions and the relationships between them. In this review, we outline the significant functions of Osx and miRNAs on certain cell types during osteogenesis and illustrate their roles during tooth development. More importantly, we discuss the relationship between Osx and miRNAs, which we believe could lead to a new treatment for skeletal and periodontal diseases.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids (GCs) affect the proliferation of growth plate chondrocytes. In this study, we investigated the role of the GC-inducible promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (PLZF) gene in chondrocyte differentiation by using the chondrogenic cell line ATDC5. PLZF overexpression suppressed cell cycle progression (p < 0.01) and promoted differentiation into hypertrophic chondrocytes by inducing mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase (p < 0.01), and the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p21 (p < 0.01). In contrast, PLZF knockdown impaired differentiation into hypertrophic chondrocytes and promoted cell cycle progression (p < 0.01). Treatment with the GC analogue dexamethasone (10(-6) M) suppressed cell cycle progression in ATDC5 cells. PLZF shRNA attenuated dexamethasone-induced cell cycle arrest (p < 0.01) by downregulating the mRNA expression of the CDK inhibitors p21 and p57 (p < 0.01). These results clearly indicated that PLZF promoted differentiation into hypertrophic chondrocytes and mediated dexamethasone-induced cell cycle arrest by regulating CDK inhibitors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dental papilla cells (DPCs) are precursors of odontoblasts and have the potential to differentiate into odontoblasts. Osteoblasts and odontoblasts have many common characteristics. Osterix (Osx) is essential for osteoblast differentiation. However, no information is available for the effects of Osx on the odontoblastic differentiation of DPCs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Osx on the proliferation and odontoblastic differentiation of DPCs. METHODS An immortalized human dental papilla cell (hDPC) line was used. Osx was stably overexpressed or knocked down in hDPCs with infection of lentiviral particles to determine its biological effects on hDPCs. The proliferation of cells was measured by the 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine incorporation assay and direct cell counting. Expressions of dentin sialophosphoprotein, nestin, dentin matrix protein 1, and alkaline phosphatase were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction to determine the odontoblastic differentiation of cells. The mineralization ability of cells was evaluated by von Kossa staining and alkaline phosphatase activity assay. RESULTS Overexpression of Osx retarded the proliferation of hDPCs, whereas knockdown of Osx increased the cell proliferation. Overexpression of Osx promoted the odontoblastic differentiation of hDPCs by up-regulating odontoblastic differentiation genes and increased the mineralization ability of hDPCs. Knockdown of Osx down-regulated odontoblastic differentiation genes and decreased the mineralization ability of hDPCs. CONCLUSIONS Osx might function as a potential regulator for the proliferation and odontoblastic differentiation of hDPCs.

Abstract
Osterix (Osx) is a transcription factor essential for osteoblast differentiation and bone mineralization. Although there are indications that Osx also plays a regulatory role in cartilage, this has not been well-studied. The goal of this study was to define the function of Osx in the post-natal growth of the secondary cartilage at the mandibular condyle. Conditional Osx knockout (cKO) mice that were missing Osx only in cartilage were generated by crossing Osx-loxP mice to Aggrecan-Cre mice. Cre activity was induced by tamoxifen injection twice a week from day 12 to 1 mo of age, and specimens were collected at 1 and 5 mo of age. At 1 mo of age, the condylar hypertrophic chondrocyte zone in the cKO-mice was > three-fold thicker than that in the age-matched control, with little sign of endochondral bone formation. Immunohistochemistry and analysis of histological data revealed a defect in the coupling of chondrogenesis and osteogenesis in the cKO mice. In five-month-old mice examined to address whether late-stage removal of the Cre-deletion event would alleviate the phenotype, the hypertrophic chondrocyte zone in the cKO condyles was considerably larger than in wild-type mice. There were large discrete areas of calcified cartilage in the hypertrophic zone, few signs of endochondral bone formation, and large regions of disorganized intramembranous bone. Analysis of these data further strengthens the notion that Osterix is essential for the coupling of terminal cartilage differentiation and endochondral ossification in mandibular condylar cartilage.

Abstract
Osterix (Osx) is essential for both intramembranous or endochondral bone formation. Osteoblast-specific ablation of Osx using Col1α1-Cre resulted in osteopenia, because of impaired osteoblast differentiation in adult mice. Since Osx is also known to be expressed in chondrocytes, we evaluated the role of Osx expressed in chondrocytes by examining the skeletal phenotype of mice with conditional disruption of Osx in Col2α1-expressing chondrocytes. Surprisingly, Cre-positive mice that were homozygous for Osx floxed alleles died after birth. Alcian blue and alizarin red staining revealed that the lengths of skeleton, femur, and vertebrae were reduced by 21, 26, and 14% (P < 0.01), respectively, in the knockout (KO) compared with wild-type mice. To determine if haploid insufficiency of Osx in chondrocytes influenced postnatal skeletal growth, we compared skeletal phenotype of floxed heterozygous mice that were Cre-positive or Cre-negative. Body length was reduced by 8% (P < 0.001), and areal BMD of total body, femur, and tibia was reduced by 5, 7, and 8% (P < 0.05), respectively, in mice with conditional disruption of one allele of Osx in chondrocytes. Micro-CT showed reduced cortical volumetric bone mineral density and trabecular bone volume to total volume in the femurs of Osx(flox/+);col2α1-Cre mice. Histological analysis revealed that the impairment of longitudinal growth was associated with disrupted growth plates in the Osx(flox/+);col2α1-Cre mice. Primary chondrocytes isolated from KO embryos showed reduced expression of chondral ossification markers but elevated expression of chondrogenesis markers. Our findings indicate that Osx expressed in chondrocytes regulates bone growth in part by regulating chondrocyte hypertrophy.

Abstract
Osterix (Osx) is a transcription factor required for osteoblast differentiation during intramembranous and endochondral ossification. Recently, several reports have described novel functions of Osx in chondrocyte differentiation. In an in vitro study, in which the effects of Osx gene silencing were examined in mouse chondrogenic ATDC5 cells, chondrocyte marker genes were found to be expressionally downregulated and chondrocyte differentiation reduced. On the other hand, in vivo studies based on chondrocyte-specific Osx knockouts demonstrated impaired endochondral bone formation with delayed chondrocyte differentiation and reduced cartilage matrix ossification. However, little is known about the mechanism or targets of Osx involved in the control of chondrocyte differentiation. Here, we attempted to high-density of Affymetrix GeneChip microarray to investigate global gene expression profile changes caused by Osx knockdown in ATDC5 chondrocytes. The mRNA expressions of 112 genes were significantly modified by Osx knockdown: 68 genes were upregulated and 44 genes downregulated. Functional categories of gene expression classified by gene ontology demonstrated that genes related to cell adhesion, development, and signal transduction were highly affected by Osx knockdown. The expressions of differential genes, such as Sfrp2, Sema3a, Nox4, Rgs4, Zfp521, Has2, Sox6, Scn2a1, Sirpa, and Thbs2, were validated by quantitative real-time PCR. This study shows that expression profiling can be used to identify genes that are transcriptionally modified following Osx knockdown and to reveal the molecular mechanism of chondrocyte differentiation regulated by Osx.

Abstract
Double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) is an interferon-induced protein that has been identified and characterized as a translational inhibitor in an interferon-regulated antiviral pathway. PKR is also reported to play important roles in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. We have previously demonstrated that PKR inactivation suppresses osteoblast calcification and osteoclast formation. However, reports concerning the roles of PKR in chondrogenesis are limited. In this study, we have demonstrated that PKR is required for the in vitro differentiation of the mouse clonal chondrogenic cell line ATDC-5. ATDC-5 cells treated with insulin differentiated into chondrocytes and produced an alcian-blue-positive cartilage matrix. The protein expression of signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) peaked at day 7 of differentiation, whereas the expression of SRY-box-containing gene 9 (Sox-9), which is a transcription factor for chondrocyte differentiation, increased gradually. When the cells were treated with a PKR inhibitor (2-aminopurine), the cartilage matrix formation decreased. The protein expression of STAT1 continued to increase up to day 21, whereas the expression of Sox-9 was low and did not increase. We also demonstrated that PKR was localized to a marginal region of the mandibular condyle cartilage in mouse embryos. Our findings suggest that PKR has important functions in the differentiation of chondrocytes through the modulation of STAT1 and Sox-9 expression.

Abstract
Osterix (Osx) is an essential transcription factor required for osteoblast differentiation during both intramembranous and endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification, a process in which bone formation initiates from a cartilage intermediate, is crucial for skeletal development and growth. Osx is expressed in differentiating chondrocytes as well as osteoblasts during mouse development, but its role in chondrocytes has not been well studied. Here, the in vivo function of Osx in chondrocytes was examined in a chondrocyte-specific Osx conditional knockout model using Col2a1-Cre. Chondrocyte-specific Osx deficiency resulted in a weak and bent skeleton which was evident in newborn by radiographic analysis and skeletal preparation. To further understand the skeletal deformity of the chondrocyte-specific Osx conditional knockout, histological analysis was performed on developing long bones during embryogenesis. Hypertrophic chondrocytes were expanded, the formation of bone trabeculae and marrow cavities was remarkably delayed, and subsequent skeletal growth was reduced. The expression of several chondrocyte differentiation markers was reduced, indicating the impairment of chondrocyte differentiation and endochondral ossification in the chondrocyte-specific Osx conditional knockout. Taken together, Osx regulates chondrocyte differentiation and bone growth in growth plate chondrocytes, suggesting an autonomous function of Osx in chondrocytes during endochondral ossification.
